Yoink
A shelf that holds files while you drag them
The verdict
For $8.99 once, after a 28-day trial, you get a shelf that slides in at the screen edge whenever you start dragging, so you can park files and text, switch apps or full-screen spaces and drop them later. It also keeps a clipboard history and passes files to Yoink on iPhone and iPad, which costs a separate $5.99. Dropzone is the stronger pick if you want drag targets that upload or run actions.
Get it if
You move files between full-screen apps all day and hate holding a drag across the whole screen.
Skip it if
You rarely drag files between apps, and copy and paste in Finder covers the odd move.
